Bible Note: Hi Tim, Your comment: “My point was that the Law was not evil, but it has served it's [Hank would put a (sic) here :)] purpose and we are no longer bound by it.” Its purpose was to be our schoolmaster, right? To train us up in the way that we should go? Right? After you “graduate” do you throw out everything you’ve learned and leave a vacuum or REPLACE it with something else? I think not…….is what we learn in school the sum total of all we will ever know?….no… but it is the foundation upon which everything else will be supported…..if you remove the Torah, you remove the foundation and you have a house built upon sand, shifting ground, which Y’shua so amply illustrated. Your comment: “Jesus Himself taught that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” Exactamundo………The Sabbath is a wonderful gift from the LORD to man and the religious elite had turned it into a real drag…….and Christianity has turned it into a non-event. You said, “We miss the point of the Sabbath if we simply elevate it to a rule which must be followed!” I totally agree……it is a sanctified day to assemble and enjoy the goodness of the LORD…….if one just sees it as an externally imposed mandate…..he should stay home and wash the car……he won’t get a thing out of the Sabbath and he’ll just put a damper on the party. As for the debate on the ending of Mark….I’ve already said all that I’m going to say....since we don’t have the original manuscripts all we can do is speculate. Singing the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb….Bub |
